People- To start a church requires people, but not just warm bodies. To start a church it takes people that are committed to the vision of the church. When people unite with a shared vision of what a church can and should be, then we begin to see the church making a difference in the community in which it operates.
In Acts 2 it talks about how they were working together in unison. They were doing life together. They were authentic in their everyday dealings in the community. People could see that worship was their everyday lifestyle and not just a service on Sunday. They were doing ministry simply by living out each day of their life for Christ.
Starting a church requires people who are willing to do as Mathew 5:16 says when we're called to live our lives each day so that others see Christ working through us and in us.
To many, church today has become a Sunday Morning performance. People dress up and show up to put on their show. On the outside everything looks great but on the inside there is a longing for something more. To start a church it requires people who are committed to allow Sunday Morning to be an extension of Christ working in their lives the other six days of the week. When this begins to happen, the church comes to life and lives begin to be changed.
